Promotions - How to get Mod Access [Locked]

Just curious, but what web site was he sharing the mods with and is the site aware of his wrong doing or do they care?

+1 simply for the pure and brutal honesty, it is needed in these type of cases. I feel similar, but find it hard to hold back the creations I really enjoy that I make. I've been lucky so far, thankfully.

Thanks and +1 back at you, also I trust my friends IRL to the fullest, yet they can sign up themselves and rank-up on their own accord. I expect them to put forth the efforts to achieve access to colonial and higher, I won't let them rely on me at all (It would become a 'gimme-gimme when you got it' situation not long after unfortunately) to get what anyone can get by following the rules and not being out of line. It isn't hard to be decent and cordial, IMO. Cheers.

They were posted in a topic on a model sharing forum, and it was full of venomous, rude comments about these forums - mostly from people who haven't even registered here. So I doubt anyone there would give a damn.

There's more to my way of thinking than random idiots who leak mods. A russian 'modder' named Alex Kostoysov (known here as Tamler, elsewhere as Scyrim) who was taking credit for around 50GB of other modders' work, stealing my screenshots and taking credit for my videos (and thus, my work).

Even more incredulously, xxShepardxx and Xilandro found posts on russian forums where Tamler announced plans to steal a number of things from my Mass Effect project once I released it (like the animated Geth races I've done).

That situation put an end to any plans I had to release the ME mod.

We banned Tamler, but he's posting here again under a different name. We made it clear that we know who he is, though. I won't blow the whistle on his new ID - however tempted I am to do so - because he's never going to get his hands on my work. And because he already knows that the best he can do - as far as modding goes - is stealing from others.

A reply to @Sentience -

Message in Spoilers so I don't derail the topic:

Wow didn't know that there was so much fear and theft around modding hope someday you will be able to release them normally.

It's always a shame when something like this happens, it's disrespectful to the mod author and may make that person not want to upload their work in the future for fear of this happening again. I downloaded a mod from a website once where it was in a zip file and you needed a password to be able to copy the files into your data folder, it would be nice if something like that could be added to all files. Although I realise this would be difficult to manage, with password distributing and other things.

Don't mean to be rude, but why does this forum allow people who leaked and stole mods to create an other account? Because I think he/she did it once and will do it again, or does this forum believe in second chances?

We do believe in second chances, as a matter of fact.We've often proven it with all the people who have broken lesser rules. We have a pretty relaxed policy on banning folks.

However, with "new accounts", we can't really prevent them from creating another one, short of cutting off their hands or pulling their eyes out of their heads (j/k) But we know when they do come back and often ban them immediately. With some we let them squabble around for a while, but that doesn't mean they'll regain their status and access. So don't worry about it and let's focus on other things

Just read what you talking about. It is disappointing, I am very hurt that people commit such acts; I see that some modders normally grieve and stop working on what the like. Thanks Dvated and company for always watching over us all .

It's a shame but it is also a good thing that the justice has been done. I think that at times like these the community has a chance to prove that it stands together. I have a feeling that if this happened on Nexus nobody would give a crap and everybody would rush to download the stolen content. This incident has really shown me how important is the respect towards mod autors and towards people in general. So hopefully there will be less and less jokers like these in the future and more mutual respect.

@SAVOGI and @darius554 were banned today for releasing here someone else's armors from Nexus as their own, "made" by them, and for using a double-account to do so. yep, it was the same guy on both accounts

Moving on to better newsWe have a huge wave of promotions today! All were evaluated and considered positive members of GUNearning their extra-perk here of access to our exclusive mods

We expect them to respect our modders' work and provide decent feedback to whichever mods they use.

Alright I'll try to keep this short since I'm on the clock, thank you everyone, I'd like to thank my parents, girlfriend, Andrew, jarred, president Obama, my representative, my mayor, and my therapist!

I hate to see this kind of news, it's not asking too much to accept the wishes of the people who put alot of their time and effort into their mods . In any case congratss to all the promotions! Enjoy the new color and wear it with honor
